Friend — I didn't want to have to send this update, but the latest polls show that if the election were held today, we'd lose an environmental majority in the House of Representatives.

But this is important: the polling is also showing a number of key House races tightening. Kansas's 3rd district. New Mexico's 2nd. Pennsylvania's 7th. Washington's 8th. California's 49th. Connecticut's 5th.

These are all races where environmental leaders have a chance to beat pro-polluter, MAGA candidates. I'm emailing you today because I believe that they will lose without our help — and because we have to move quickly if we're going to make a difference.

Right now, we're scaling up our work supporting pro-environment candidates in battleground races like these. And we are putting serious resources behind ad campaigns in each of these states too.

So, why are we asking for your help now? The only way it's possible to go big on these campaigns is with your help — and a group of donors is triple matching every contribution right now.

Please — pitch in today. Help hold an environmental majority in the House. Even $5 is enough to make a difference >>

Here's one race where we're taking on a fossil fuel-funded candidate with extreme views on climate and the environment:

Representative for New Mexico's 2nd district, Yvette Herrell, a member of LCV Victory Fund's Dirty Dozen list, is one of the top ten recipients of oil and gas contributions in the House. She also voted against the Inflation Reduction Act, is actively opposed to protecting public lands, and openly supports the recent Supreme Court decision to undermine the EPA.

That's why we're investing in this House race, and others like it, to get environmental champions like Gabe Vasquez, who's fighting to protect public lands and invest in clean energy, elected to represent NM-02 this November.

TRIPLE YOUR IMPACT: If we don't intervene now, the truth is — we're going to lose an environmental majority. Please: don't let that happen. $5 is enough to help.

Building a pro-environment majority in the House is important for future generations, our lifetimes, and in the present. This historic election is just around the corner, and we just can't let pro-polluters win.

The time is now. Your support is an integral piece of winning this fight, Friend, not just in November, but for the long term. Thank you for being part of our work to elect more climate leaders who will build a better future for all.

Onward,
